Rockridge School District

The Junior High and High School building is now safe to enter. The gas leak has been repaired.

The building will be open from 2:00–6:00 p.m. for students and families to retrieve personal belongings.

A special thank you to our staff and bus drivers for helping students safely exit the building and get home. Thank you to students and guardians for your cooperation and understanding today. We truly appreciate everyone’s help.

School will resume tomorrow (9/18).

The Junior High/High School has been evacuated, and all students are on their way home. All indoor activities at the Junior High/High School are canceled for tonight. Please do not come to the campus or return to the building at this time. We will provide an update when we know more and will let you know when it is safe to return. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Buses will be taking all students who are not driving home. There will be no parent pickup for students. All students will be transported home by bus and dropped off at their homes. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to get all students home safely.

We are currently working with the fire department to address the situation. All students and staff are safe at this time. We are working on a plan to get students home as soon as possible and will provide additional information as soon as we have it. We are aware that some students have personal belongings inside the building. At this time, we are not able to safely enter the building, so all belongings will need to remain inside until we are given clearance to enter. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to ensure the safety of our students and staff.

We want to inform our everyone that a gas line was accidentally hit at the JH/HS building. The area has been evacuated, and everyone is safe at this time. We are working with the appropriate personnel and will provide additional updates as we receive more information.
